♪ ♪ gerri: hello, everybody. i'm gerri willis. more taxpayer waste from the obama administration. you're not surprised. a new report says millions of dollars for great energy and the 2009 stimulus package went to foreign companies. with more on this and, senior political columnist for the washington examiner. it's great to see you again, as always. i mean, look at the dollars and

sincere. 16 billion for the green energy program. one out of $4 went to foreign companies. does that make any sense you? >> this is what happens when the government tries to get in a situation of picking winners and losers. it doesn't even do that very well. they're trying to reward the american companies. oh, here is a subsidy for installing windmills or installing solar panels. guess what, a good chance they are going to be made overseas. a good chance that a lot of these subsidies are going to go before companies. and this is been true in many government programs, not just obama's stimulus, but obama through the stimulus really ramped up the degree of the government handing out money to green energy. gerri: france, spain, japan, italy, you name it, are cut money when all over theplanet. here's the thing that is really frustrating. permanent and temporary jobs created, just a thousand. the average cost, $1 million if

you do the math. none of this makes sense. our taxpayer dollars are being wasted yet again. gerri: and the fact is that the people making money off of this often are the people, the lobbyists to live -- line up the subsidies and make sure that congress creates them and then their clients get them. sometimes the investors in these three energy companies to make lots of money get the subsidies, pocket it, and then bail. the idea of long-term job creation is not necessary for the lobbyists and some of these early investors to make their profit. gerri: here is a look at what the administration says when you attack them on what we're talking about right here. book. the subsidiaries of foreign companies doing business in the u.s. hire american citizens. what's wrong with that. he said? >> the profits in the overseas. also at the same time a lot of times american companies would get the subsidies and use

oversees labor and then the white house says, well, it's an american company, even if the wind turbines are being manufactured in spain. still it's an american company. they have it both ways. the american company making it overseas, they take credit. a foreign company where some of the jobs, mostly temporary installation jobs here in the u.s., they also take credit. gerri: of want to point out to people. the effort about solyndra. i know all about. this is a totally different program. a different program than the solyndra program. this is additional moneys being misused. an additional point on green energy that you brought up in your column, the venture capitalists are starting to take a step back concrete energy. why is that? >> well, a lot of venture capital started flowing into great energy around 2007 when the energy bill, remember, the democratic congress and president bush passed an energy bill with lots of great energy subsidies. of course, obama came in and have the stimulus and all sorts

of regulations. mandates requiring people to investing in energy. a lot of this, the idea was the subsidies would get the technology up and running in that it would be able to compete well, the subsidies have been there. some of the merc is appearing, some expired. when the subsidies disappeared, most of these technologies, almost all that -- none of them can compete with things like coralline gas and coal. gerri: that tells you -- >> the subsidy money was wasted and that if we let these things compete in the free-market the wind and solar and some of these other green technologies are not worthwhile. we are just -- the taxpayers are wasting money on ratepayers. gerri: i'm happy to have great energy developed in this country of all kinds. please, go do it. keep my taxpayer dollars out of it. that's what i said. >> and i think a bipartisan approach to this could be -- there are subsidies out there

for welland : natural-gas. let's remove those and stop these green energy subsidies. it might be that on a local, regional level something like ethanol might make sense in iowa. wind might make sense if you have something going on. we don't have to do this big national plan called a let them all compete on an even playing field. get rid of oil and coal and natural gas subsidies. i think that should be a bipartisan compromise. gerri: and we get to keep all that money. thank you for coming out tonight. have a great weekend. >> you, to. gerri: from bailing of green energy to building of the big banks. we are doing it again. regulators reached agreements this month with 12 major banks including goldman, morgan, bank of america, wells fargo and the list goes on. you know the usual suspects. under the deal the lenders will pay around $9 billion to compensate people who were wrongly foreclosed upon as a result of things like robosigning.

many consumer advocates complain that big banks for getting off easy. now it turns out it is an even sweeter deal than we thought. the 9 billion is all tax deductible. the irs says the compensation to homeowners as the cost incurred in the course of doing business and is not a fine or penalty but the result of wrongdoing. i say if they didn't do anything wrong there probably wouldn't be showing -- shelling of billions of dollars. we should not be footing any part of the bill for the mistake . as one homeowner put it, the government comes after us for every little bit of money we have. that's because we aren't too big to fail. we just have to bail out the ones that are. that's what i think. now we want to know what you think. here's our question. should banks be allowed to deduct the mortgage settlement? log on to gerriwillis.com, vote on the right inside the screen and all share the results of the end of the show. not to the latest developments in the hostage situation in

algeria. one american reportedly dead a takeover and natural gas plant by islamic militants. algerian news agencies report around 100 foreign workers are freed. the fate of 30 other foreign energy workers remains uncertain today militants' offering to trade to captive americans for to terrorists jailed in the u.s., but that was quickly shot down by the defense secretary. all this could have a major consequence of the price of oil. want to bring in a senior market analyst for the price futures group and the fox business contributor and a resident scholar at the american enterprise institute and former pentagon official. all-star which you. tell me, what's going on in the oil market today as a result of what is going on? >> the prices have been pretty stable on oil, but we saw huge jump up in the u.k. natural-gas market. as we know, algeria is a major supplier of natural gas to europe. because of those concerns with some big spike in the market

yesterday. and that think the larger concern, one of the things we have to realize is that in this world of terror, every time we fill up at the gas tank return all light bulb, we're already paying the terror premium that is built into the price. the biggest concern for energy traders in the energy markets is that this type of attack that happened in algeria happens in other places. >> we have seen it in the past. miching algeria be a primary supplier of net gas, number three. that is critically important. a return to your now. i thought al qaeda was dead. that is what i was told by the democrats. >> you have to give the president credit. the second he announced the death an expiration date was put on all the intelligence which recaptured within. so more than a year on we are again fighting blind. the president really needs to get out. it's clearly not true.

gerri: i was talking earlier about how this has happened before. we had a tax on pipelines, oil facilities. it happens over and over again. is this getting more serious? do you see a change in intent? >> i think it is. early on, one of the main goals of al qaeda was to take over energy, even back in the days of babylon. take over the saudi arabian oilfields, blow them up, do the same thing. but what's even larger is the concern that the terrorists are able to get control of such a large facility. now, luckily this area where they're at right now is pretty desolate, but could you imagine if they got into a populated area, took over and natural gas plant or an oil plan and let it explode? it could have a devastating impact. i hope the whole world was on high alert today. you know, this is a reminder

that there are still a lot of dangers out there in the world. gerri: do you think that is what they're aiming for? polling of oneof these facilities? >> ultimately that is on the menu. you look at the platforms, and one weaker so before this attack , there were talking about setting sites on morocco. remember, o all the franchisees , that a queue item which is in part responsible for this attack, it's the one that spans the most countries, it spans seven countries. if we talk about what the danger of the closure of the strait of hormuz, if you have serious islamism and insurgency al qaeda presence of morocco clemens and what that could do to international shipping industry of gibraltar? gerri: the pets are high. it's interesting because we just had an increased expectation for oil demand in 2013. the numbers coming out show that people are going to want more oil, not less. are we going to see oil prices

go through the roof here? if. >> i think there's a better chance that the threat of demand -- the threat of terror will drive prices higher. we just get new evidence today that the u.s. is an energy powerhouse, producing the most loyal with the biggest increase since before the civil war. and in a weird way that is changing the global energy balance. and a great way. i mean, it's going to change the world. hopefully it's going to a, you know, change that taxes. i think the bottom line here windy like energy this year, were coming from a very low level of demand. demand is going to go up. we have new supplies, new things like fracking. that will keep that under control. but that threat of terror, we're paying for it every day.

whether it be iran, al qaeda, and it is a sad world we live in, but people have to realize, these type of things have a negative impact on the economy. the senate that we can beat this debt the better it's going to be for everybody. gerri: last word. tell me, are drones enough to take care of this problem? >> the bottom line, but we have to learn is that we cannot afford billiard. terrorists love a vacuum, and wherever it develops kamal to leave, to pose a threat to the united states. next year it could be afghanistan. we have to be on guard. gerri: thank you for coming on. great job. you guys really explained it all. thank you. >> thanks. gerri: if you're fired up about this or any of the issues, a drop me an e-mail. >> coming up on "the willis report," unemployment is higher.

with more on this, grover norquist, president for americans for tax reform. great to have you here. other republicans doing the right thing? >> i think so. there are three tools the republicans have to force obama to focus on spending, which she does not want to do it and will unless forced. first is the sequester which starts march 1st or 2nd. that is a hundred billion dollars per year. that is the real cut in spending that will happen. the other one is the continuing resolution which starts march 4/7. we have a continuing resolution. they are the republicans that can put obama on a very short leash and only give him a continuing resolution for a week for two or three. cut the spending each time. those are two very powerful mechanisms. gerri: you don't in addition of the purse strings on the debt

ceiling to use that at the a lever and give the president to stop spending? >> i didn't say that the man at the day. they just moved it back. gerri: what do you think? should they use the debt ceiling? >> ultimately, short. two tools that are very real and very powerful coming up. obama has tried to demonize the debt ceiling. okay. set it back with a condition. okay democrats in the senate. you have not passed a budget in three years. the reason why the democrats have control of the senate is that harry reid has said democratic senators in the witness protection program with ever -- whenever budget issues come up. twenty democrats are up for election in 2014. half of them should not be coming back of the continue to vote with obama on tax and spend crazy debt policies which is what they have been doing. i think it is very important for the american people to see what the senate has not done and to

force them to act but that. gerri: you sure can't act -- argue with that. the senate has not passed a budget and 1,361 days. let me get a comment. it would stop pay to members of congress if they don't do some of these things, if they don't get a budget resolution. you in favor of that? >> i think it's a good idea for two reasons. senators have not been doing democratic leaders have not been doing their job for a long time. they should not get paid. if they're not willing todo it, the senate should vote them out of positions. also, it gives the attention of average americans who don't know if they have been watching the establishment press that the senate has not passed a budget. they don't know that the president has never gotten a budget in on time in the once he does to are not serious. and so we're going to have to have some focus on that if we are going to assign correct

blame. gerri: i have to tell you, regular americans as you describe them know what happens if they don't do their job. they get fired, don't get paid. i have to ask you about this gao report. they failed to audit the government consolidated financial statements because you can't. they are a mess. you cannot understand them. this happens every year. >> well, the government says it needs to be audited, and that it doesn't pass the audit. i think this administration has been very bad on exactly the issue they said there were going to be gone, which is transparency. i think that one of the fights that we need to have if we're going to have honest and accurate budget is to get real numbers and real understanding of assets. a fortune 500 company behave the way the united states government it the sec would be all over the broad. gerri: that's right. there would be. it's all gimmicks and tricks.
